In “White Boy Rick,” Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey plays a struggling single father in ‘80s Detroit, whose son becomes an FBI informant. In real life, the actor and father of three — Levi, 10, Vida, 8, and Livingston, 5 — is riding high. He’s proud of his film and the character he plays, whom he described as “living off of the hopes and dreams of the future, while reciting nostalgia from the past.”

McConaughey, meanwhile, is firmly entrenched in the present. And movies aside, he’s now the proud co-parent of Wild Turkey Longbranch, a small-batch Kentucky bourbon, in collaboration with a master distiller.

“He sent me 80-something bottles to test, which was pretty fun homework. On my birthday, I was down camping with my family. I had taken these latest four bottles. That night around the campfire, I took a sip, and that was it,” said McConaughey.
